There are no records of the 1 st Church in Norwalk that I have ever seen, or known to be in existence, of an earlier date than 1807. In the beginning of the record of the doings of the Church kept by Mr. Swan I find the following "Memorandum", in the same hand writing with the rest of the records, and over the date of Sept. 2. 1807. viz. "Memorandum. The Church Covenant, Confession of faith & catalogue of members were not to be found". And immediately follows a record of the adoption of a Covenant, & the arrangement for a list of members.
In the beginning of the Records kept by Rev. Henry Benedict, under the date of Aug. 1828. I find in his hand writing a reference to the former records in these words; viz. "And also the former records of the Church, which extend no further back than the settlement of Rev. Mr. Swan in 1807. the old records having been lost". I have heard it often said by people in Norwalk that after the death of Dr. Brunet - and before the settlement of Rev. Mr. Swan, the records were destroyed or lost. This is the current report, I believe it to be true, I have never heard any other.

The Pension Certificate of Hannah Gardner widow of William Gardner under the act of the 3 rd March 1843 for $80. per Annum dated 23 rd June 18 and — came duly to hand - But I perceive by an indorsement on the back of the Certificate it is made payable at the New York Agency instead of the Albany Agency - Her residence is in this County & so stated in her declaration & the N.Y. Agent refused to pay pensioners residing here - or has heretofore Now should not this have been made payable at the Albany Agency & unless Compted may there not be trouble in collecting the Pensions when due? And can it not be rounded without making the formal application for a transfer? Mrs. Gardner's Pension under the act 7 th July 1838 was made payable in N.Y. & was there paid, as she resided there at the time but has since removed to this County. All which appears by her declaration.
